(Regional eBook and Audiobook Download System), which is run by Overdrive. Looks like there's 77,581 Kindle titles, 72,550 epub & 22,164 audiobooks.
They even made it incredibly simple to use. Your local library card is your login, so I just select my library and type in my whopping four digit card number and have full access. I noticed they've added a mobile phone number verification as well, somehow using it to determine if your zip code's in the state.  |
It looks like at least some of the member libraries have out-of-state / non-resident options, although the two I see don't specifically say if they include e-books. There is a large list of libraries to check here although many of the links aren't live:
